[PATCH v1 1/1] memory tier: acpi/hmat: create CPUless memory tiers after obtaining HMAT info

From: Ho-Ren (Jack) Chuang
Date: Fri Mar 01 2024 - 03:24:24 EST


* Introduce `mt_init_with_hmat()`
We defer memory tier initialization for those CPUless NUMA nodes
until acquiring HMAT info. `mt_init_with_hmat()` is introduced to
post-create CPUless memory tiers after obtaining HMAT info.
It iterates through each CPUless memory node, creating memory tiers if
necessary. Finally, it calculates demotion tables again at the end.

* Introduce `hmat_find_alloc_memory_type()`
Find or allocate a memory type in the `hmat_memory_types` list.

* Make `set_node_memory_tier()` more generic
This function can also be used for setting other memory types for a node.
To do so, a new argument is added to specify a memory type.

* Handle cases where there is no HMAT when creating memory tiers
If no HMAT is specified, it falls back to using `default_dram_type`.

* Change adist calculation code to use another new lock, mt_perf_lock.
Iterating through CPUlist nodes requires holding the `memory_tier_lock`.
However, `mt_calc_adistance()` will end up trying to acquire the same lock,
leading to a potential deadlock. Therefore, we propose introducing a
standalone `mt_perf_lock` to protect `default_dram_perf`. This approach not
only avoids deadlock but also prevents holding a large lock simultaneously.
